Postal Tube Railroad.

Much interest is being taken in engineering circles In the proposed postoffice tube railroad. The trains in which the letters and parcels would be conveyed would be electrically operated and controlled from the stations, no drivers being employed on the trains. The prevention of accidents would be Insured by the übb of elec-tro-automatic safety controlling devices, the speed at which the trains would be run being about twenty-five miles an hour. The stations would b* frilly equipped with lifts, automatlo conveyer systems, etc., for the rapid handling of the letters and goods.— Casßier’s Engineering Monthly.
